Will quotes from Robin Hood

Happy Birthday!

[Robin hugs Little John and Djaq]

Well, why here? Why not have it in the forest?

There's gratitude for you. Because then it wouldn't be a surprise!

[He playfully punches Robin in the stomach]

And besides, the people of Nettlestone can join us and you know... say thank you. Speaking of which, where is everyone?

GGeorge

They couldn't make it. And neither can I.

What do you mean they couldn't make it?! It's Robin Hood's birthday!

GGeorge

Sorry.

Sorry for what?

[George quickly opens the barn door, closes it and runs]

George?!

[Robin walks over to the closed barn door]

Oh, Much.

What?

[Robin looks through the gaps in the barn door and sees mercenaries arriving]

[George runs over to the mercenaries and Ellingham throws him a bag of money]

GGeorge

Thank you!

[George runs away]

EEllingham

[Shouting] Happy Birthday, Robin Hood!

Who's that?

That's Ellingham.

EEllingham

[Shouting] The Sheriff sends his best!

The leader of the Sheriff's mercenaries.

EEllinghan

Not to mention...his best men!

[The mercenaries cheer]

Much!

[Robin turns to look at Much]

[Holding his arms out. Shouting] Sorry!

That bought us some time. We need to think.

There are five of us. And a hundred of them!

Once a few determined Spartans held a pass against a vast Persian army.

Will

Really?

[Robin slightly nods]

Strategy.

Will

And they lived?

No, but... they did well.

Will

Oh.

I hate that story too.

Will

So they're just going to wait?

Until we come out.

And then kill us. Not even a conversation.

View quote →

I have a proposal. If they won't come to us, we'll go to them.

When?

First light.

Will

There's too many of them.

We'll die.

It's suicide.

[Robin nods. Much sighs and paces]

It's a good day to die!

Will you shut up! Why does he always say that?! I don't even know what it means!

We'll almost certainly die. But at least we'll die fighting.

Will

Yeah, I'm in.

[Djaq who was looking at Will, looks at Robin]

Me too.

Yes.

[Robin looks at Much]

[Pause]

And me.

[Robin slighty nods]

Good. Good.

So this is a Kalila and Dimna night.

Will

What?

You don't have Kalila and Dimna night?

Surprisingly not.

A Kalila and Dimna night you remember for your whole life. You must only speak the truth. You must ask all your questions, share all your dreams.

So it's just talking?

Yes. But it's real talking. And if you're too boring, someone shouts Kalila and you lose your turn. You start.

Oh, no.

Just talk. You like talking.

I know I do...but, well, not like this.

Fine. I'll start.

So I admire you. All of you. You are good men. Brave... generous... kind... decent men. And I love you. All of you. And I am proud to be amongst you.

Is this what this is, just everyone saying that they love each other?

[Holding her hand up. Laughing] Wait. And you're filthy, and you really stink. [Everyone laughs] and you have no souls!

JJohn

We live in the forest.

I have to be honest!

[Will smiles and looks down]

[Pause]

I have to be honest. And if I am being honest I have to say that... I do not love all of you in the same way.

It's me, isn't? You love everyone else but you don't love me. Brilliant.

[Djaq looks at Will as she talks]

There is one I do love more than the others, [Will looks up at her] The way a bird would fly... two thousand miles through storms [Little John and Much look over to Will] just to be with the one he loves. That is the love I feel. And I am a [Emotionally] fool because it is only now when we're about to die [looks up at Will] that I have the courage to admit it, even to myself. I'm sorry. I should have said earlier.

[Whispering to Little John] Will! I knew it!

[Robin looks at Will then at Djaq]

You, Will Scarlett are strong and true, and you fight for what you believe in [Will smiles and looks down, tears in his eyes] and that's why I love you.

Will

[looking up at her again] And I love you!

[Djaq laughs]

Will

I love the way you say what you mean. I love your silly voice.

Silly voice!?

[Will laughs]

That's it, I take it back, all of it. [Robin smiles] I hate you.

Will

And I love the way you fight. Like a man. Ferocious. And the way you'll always, always be a woman.

Ka-lim-na. Boring.

[Staring in disbelief at Will] Kalila.

Whatever.

[Much and Robin push the cart past the barn door, to the corner and Little John removes the beam from between the barn door handles]

Will

What do you think, John? A good day?

Oh, yes. A good day.

View quote →

Are you ready?

[Little John and Much nod]

One... two...

Allan.

Will

What?

Allan A Dale.

[Will and Djaq look through the gaps in the barn and see Allan walking up to the barn]

[Allan knocks on the door]

Open up! I'm here on behalf of the Sheriff!

[Gestures to let Allan in] Let him in.

Kill him.

[Quietly] John, calm down.

[Djaq opens the door]

Oh, thank God.

[Much pulls him in and keeps a hold of him]

[Shouting] What do you want?! What do you want?!

[Shouting] Listen! We haven't got time to talk now, alright. I've spun 'em a yarn, but we've got to get out of here before they're onto...

We? [Shouting] We?!

I'm with you. Trust me.

[He turns and looks at Robin. Robin looks at Allan, then look at Much and blinks in an agreeing fashion. Much lets Allan go]

I've been an idiot. I'm sorry. But right now, we've got work to do. The Sheriff and Gisborne are going to the Holy Land.

The Holy Land?

They're on a boat from Portsmouth... They're going to kill the King.

[Robin winces. Djaq and Will look at him in shock and then so do Much and Little John]

Right. We need to get out of here. Now.

View quote →

What if the King's moved on? What if he isn't in Acre?

Well, then we go to Djaq's uncle's friend.

Will

Bassam.

I'm going to go and check, okay?

Alright.

[Djaq leaves]

[Much sits down and takes off his shoe]

What does Bassam do, then?

[Much tips his shoe over, getting sand out]

The pigeon handler. Remember Lardner?

Oh, the pigeon that the Sheriff killed with his buzzard.

Ah, that's what you think.

We switched the birds.

[Little John laughs]

[Allan smiles]

Oh, ho, ho. You're joking. Nice one. So you got a message to the King in the end, yeah?

Yeah. Well, no thanks to you.

Look, I've told you a thousand times, I'm sorry, boys, alright? I'm back now, I'm one of the lads, let's just...

Now, hands up, who hasn't betrayed the group?

[Much raises his hand, then Will then Little John]

Oh. This one again. How clever.

Just leave it, Much, eh?

Sorry.

We're here to find the King.

[Djaq returns]

And Marian.

And Marian.

[Will has helped cage a pigeon at Bassam's house and smiles at Djaq. He then walks with her. Bassam is watching them]

When I was a little girl, I loved these birds. And I thought that when I grew up, I would live here and train them. The closest I'd ever get to flight. Do you understand?

Will

Yeah. I do, actually.

[To Carter] Come on. We are Robin Hood.

CCarter

What?

[Everyone gathers in a circle, with Little John in the middle. Much and Marian drink water]

We'll explain later.
